Do Tonies work without Wi-Fi?

Yes, Tonies are designed to work without Wi-Fi. While you need an internet connection for the initial setup, Tonieboxes and Tonies operate offline, so you don't need an internet connection after this. The audio content is stored directly on the Tonie character figures and the Toniebox, allowing children to enjoy their favourite stories, songs, and other content without relying on Wi-Fi or an internet connection. This makes Tonies a convenient and portable entertainment option for kids, whether they're at home, in the car, or on the go.
